WD Caviar Black 1 TB, SATA 6 Gb/s, 64 MB Cache, WD1002FAEX

[jalyst]

So what's the story with the 1001FAES; is it to eventually replace the WD1001FALS?

Will it always have 500GB platters now like the WD1002FAEX (which also has two actuators)
If so is the only difference between the 1002FAEX and 1001FAES the SATA interface?

Is there going to be similar sorts of differentiation with the 2TB Blacks & 2TB RE's?

Just got to test the Spinpoint F3 3xRAID-0. Performance is far from making the most of the drives, but whatever. Make the SATA6 would help here.
